NAPOLEON AND REMUSAT.
Were Her Severely Critical Mem
oirs Inspired by Disappointed


Paris Letter to New Orleans Picayune.
Prince Jerome has finally replied, and
in a most telling way, think, to the bit
ter attack which Henri Taine made on
the First Napoleon in that long essay
printed here in the Revue dies DeuX
MondeS and in America in the Prince
ton Review some months ago As for
BOurrien, the fellow-pupil of Napoleon
at Brienne, afterwards his private sec
rotary, and still later the most violent
OF his detractorS, the prince deals with
his revelations by pointing out their
improbability or by simply denying their
truth, and then he goes for Nine. de
RemuSat'S Memoirs, declaring that they
are tissue of calumnies and cOntradic-
tons written in 1918, but made up out of
impressions received during the time she
was intimate with the imperial family.
This the prince demonstrates by numer-
Gus citations from the published letters
which she wrote to her husband, in
which she speaks in very different
way of Napoleon; these show that when
they were written, she had certainly
an exalted admiration for the emperor,
and that the fact that this admiration
was not returned had great deal to do
with her treason to him. "She hoped
to exercise durable and profitable in
fluence through that charm of intel
ligence that Napoleon had recognized;
she dreamed of being an ardent friend
of his, sort of Egeria. This dream be-
trays itself by her enthusiasm for the
hero and her regrets at the effete role
women played in his life. A word
dropped by her discloses the secret of
her soul. ''Perhaps," she writes, 1.-The
emperor would have been a greater
man had he been more and above all
better loved" Did she undertake to
inspire this love? The Memoirs answer
this indiscreet question. Nine. de
Remusat was mistaken in the nature of
Napoleon. Dominated by the grandeur
of projects, he escaped the influence
OF women. To this Indifference he owed
more than one enmity, and Nine. de
Remusat passes sound Judgment on
herself when she applies to herself the
line: 'Ah! loved him too much not to
hate him."

King MiIan'S Views.

VIENNA, Dec. 22.-The Neu Fret
Presse says that King Milan, of Servia,
replying to an address of congratulation
presented to him by the chamber of
deputies said the present moment was
frarght with danger to Europe. If a
conflict between Germanic and Slav
ideas should ever occur, he said, Servia
should not participate, but should re-
main spectator. 1t would be
impossible to Germanize Servian
individuality, but it might be
Slavicized. Then it would dis
appear. The Obrenovitch family
Chis family live only for the Servian
idea. MY DESIRE" he continued, lis to
follow my family traditions, which are
the secret of my foreign policy"

PLAsTERING RIDDLEBERGER.

Senator RIDDLEBERGER, who is now
the unknown quantity in the senate, is
said to be the special object of at
tentiOn from his Republican colleagues.
Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER has been in the
senate for nearly six years. He was
elected as Republican, and has all the
time occupied a seat on that side of the
chamber. And yet, during all these
years. he has been under the ban of a
social Ostracism as complete, and as dis
eliminating as if he had been Hotten-
tot. The other Republican senators
have had their social feteS, but RID
them. He would go daily to
the senate lunch room, but
always went alone and sat at table by
himself, unless some Democrat would
play the good Samaritan by showing the
Virginia senator the pOliteness which
his Republican associates denied.
PALMER. of Michigan, is the only Repub
ican senator who ever invited RIDDLE
BERGER to his house, an invitation that
was declined because RIDDLEBERGER
had no dress coat, and said he was too
poor to buy one. But all that is changed
now. RIDDLEBERGER is the lion of
Washington society this winter. He is
not only invited to receptions and social
gatherings, but they are gotten up
particularly for his benefit. Senator
SPooNER the social leader of the SEN
ate, has taken RIDDLEBERGER under
his arm and is dishing him up to Wash
ington society in large slices. DON
CAMERON has asked him to become a
member of the senatorial poker club
and EDMUNDs and HoAR and PLUMB
and many others have suddenly discOv-
cred social merit in the senior Virginia
senator to which they have heretofore
been utterly Obliyious. The meaning
of all this is clear and probably not
more apparent to any one than to RID
DLEBERGER himself. RIDDLEBERGER
is no fool. whatever else may be said of
him, and he sees, as every one else sees.
that it is the value of RIDDLEBERGER'S
vote at this time that makes him So
ciety lion. He practically holds the
balance of power in the senate. 1t is an
open secret that he is sore over the lack
of attention from his Republican assO-
ciateS. The latter are now trying to
make amends for past rudeneSs and
wish to heal over RIDDLEBERGER's
wounds by SOLDERING on them. 1t is a
disgusting spectacle, but there seems to
be nothing that Republican politician
will not give in exchange for vote
when it is needed.

A RECKLESS ENGINEER.
He Narrowly Escapes Lynching
at a Chicago Depot.

He Narrowly Escapes Lynching
at a Chicago Depot.
CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-An incoming Bal
timore & Ohio train plowed at full speed
through the crowd boarding the Illinois
suburban train at Van Buren, station
last evening. Fully 200 people were
thronging the tracks at the time, and
without whistle or note of warning the
train was upon them. In an instant
Miss Lottie Launderville was thrown
through the the air distance OF fifteen
or twenty feet and fatally injured. I'm
mediately after the accident the Balti-
more IL Ohio train backed up, and had
barely stopped when the cab was
boarded by an Infatuated crowd of per-
sons who had narrowly escaped death.
The engineer was roughly seized and
cries of Lynch him, Kill him." were
shouted from hunredS of threats. just
in time to prevent the crowd from exc
cutting its threats two central detail
officers arrived and rescued the COVER
ing man from the throng of avengers.
The engineer was quickly spirited away
and his name could not be learned.
There seems to be no excuse for the &C
cident. The Baltimore & Ohio train
was going at full speed when it should
have been at a standstill. There was
no sound of bell or whistle to warn the
crowd of home-gOerS of approaching
danger.

A Woman in the Case.

LYNCHBURG, Va, Dec. pa special
from Scott county says: Napoleon B.
Templeton was murdered yesterday by
George Adams, in the road near Estill-
vile. Both were young men OF the best
families, and jealousy was the cause of
the murder. Templeton married the
girl both were counting, and Adams de-
termined to have revenge. Meeting
Templeton yesterday he drew a pistol
and, without saying word, shot him
between the eyes, killing him instantly.
The murderer escaped, but the sheriff's
posse is after him.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The trial of DIR.
st. John, Levi Dell and Capt. Freer, in
dicted for conspiracy in aiding in the
escape of w. j. McGarigle came to a
sudden close this noon. The states at
torney acknowledged in open court that
he had not evidence enough to convict.
so Judge Collins ordered the jury to

state nollied the other indictments

Capt. Irwin, master of the Blake, who
has kept himself in Canada since the
escape, still stands.

OrUIgG To Europe ana Kept IN cages. In
a few generations they lost their wild
habits and appearance. They became
yellow. This curious change also takes
place in some other birds. The little
green Australian lOvebirds or parakeets
will, if kept in cages and interbred for
one or two generations, become yellow.
''New designs in canaries are regu-
larly introduced by. dealers to meet the
demand for novelties. When the deal
ers are at loss a little judicious dyeing
will often help them out. They will
supply orders in old gold, terra Gotta,
saffron, yellow, and even bright red.''
''Red canarieS!"
Certainly. I'll tell you all about
that, but first let us take up the differ
ent kinds of canarieS. Of course, the
common domesticated birds are the first
step from the wild or green kind. In
various countries these common birds
have been brought up by careful breed
ing to different standards of excellence.
The Germans, for instance, as music
loving nation, devoted their entire at
tentiOn to raising canarleS for their
singing qualities. There is as much
difference between finely-educated
German canary and a common one as
there is between Adelina Patti and an
ordinary concert hall ballad singer.
IN BELGIUM
canarieS were bred for shape and size,
resulting in what is now known as the
Belgian or long canary. The best speci-
mems of these stand very erect on their
percheS and have peculiar high should
ers, very much the shape of a vuIture's.
There are dozen points which deter
mine the highest standard of the Bel
gian canaries. They must stand very
erect, they must have certain length,
their tails must droop quite perpendicu-
larry, their shoulders must be high, out
of all symmetry, and the whole bird
must present very slim appearance.
Their thin neckS, slim legs, peculiar
shoulders, small waists, and lack of
practical usefulness make them the
dudes of their race. Their song is very
inferior.
'Then there are the French canaries.
These are the same as the BelgianS, eX-
cept that their weight is greater. They
are clumsier and thicker in appearance,
and their feathers are pulled out and in
some places turn the wrong way. They
have thick frill of feathers on the
breast, something like the fluted shirt
fronts of fifty years ago, and they also
have fluffy feathers on their legs, like
those of Cochin China chicken. Their
song is very Inferior. LII Spite OI lniS
want, however, there is big demand
for both these and the BelgianS, and en-
thusiastic collectors will spend hours in
front of their cages noting their points
and picking out the most perfect birds.
''In England there are many varieties
of canaries, but they are all poor song
sters. There is the Norwich, which is
larger than the common canary and of
bright color; the Manchester copy,
which is the same as the Norwich, ex-
cept that it has large crest or tOpknOt
on its head; and the gold and silver
lizard canaries, which are of peculiar
pied and striped plumage. The latter
have respectively peculiar silver sheen
or a golden luster over their plumage.
Some of them have green and silvery
